Riverdale in January

So far we’ve seen releases that cater for adults, and little ones. It would be terrible if teenagers weren’t specifically catered for. CW’s Riverdale comes on board to change the game for the teens this January. Roberto Aguirre-Saccasa is the creator of Riverdale, and is also the Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics. The 45-minute drama TV series premieres on Thursday, January 26th and is available to stream on CW. The season release date ironically enough coincides with the 75th anniversary of the Archie characters. Riverdale was originally adapted in 1997 airing as a Canadian Series.
